spdf2list {GeoXp}R Documentation

Extract from a 'SpatialPolygonsDataFrame' object the middle coordinates of boundary box and the vertices of the polygons (in the case where polygons are given)

Description

The function `spdf2list' calculates the middle coordinates of boundary box and in the case where polygons are included into a `SpatialPolygonsDataFrame' object, it extracts the vertices of the polygons, seperating polygons from each other by 3 rows of NaN.

Usage

spdf2list(data)

Arguments

data A `SpatialPolygonsDataFrame' object

Details

The user can then represent the coordinates of sites of a `SpatialPolygonsDataFrame' object as background map, using the option `carte' included in all interactive functions.

Value

It returns two vectors of middle coordinates for x-axis and y-axis cooresponding to middle of each boundary box. It returns a matrix of numeric values with 2 columns ($x$ and $y$ coordinates of the vertices of the polygons) where polygons are seperated from each other by 3 rows of NaN.

Note

The data of a `SpatialPolygonsDataFrame' object can be directly extract using @data
